The 2 year free community college funding should be limited to technical skills like computer programming and repair, medical tech training and other specific vocational skills -- train young people to get decent paying jobs that are in demand.
If someone wants to pursue a more liberal arts education leading to a 4 year school and a bachelor degree let them pay for it -- we will end up giving them food stamps anyway. If someone wants to study mathematics or hard sciences with hopes of progressing to a 4 year university and maybe graduate school -- we need physicists and engineers -- help them to pay for that sort of education.
Buy your own ticket if you are not interested in getting an education for an in demand job. How many history instructors or professors do we need? You can't afford to give everything to everyone -- you need a return on the tax dollar -- people that get good jobs make good money and pay back tax dollars -- useful education is a good investment for a society.
